General Introduction

Time series data are one of the most fundamental data types in virtually the entire MIKE Powered by DHI product line. The shared format for storage of time series data is the .dfs0 file format. However, often the original time series data are given and pre-processed in other formats such as ASCII and Excel. It may be that the decimal separator is different from the commonly used and sometimes it is also required that results are exported to ASCII and Excel files for later use in 3rd-party software.

The basic time series tool, Time Series Editor, in MIKE Zero can import and export time series data in ascii format, however it can only handle one time series at a time and the format of the ASCII input file is restricted to a DHI standard for the Time Series Editor. It is thus not feasible for handling large amounts of data files.

This Time Series Batch Conversion tool can perform batch-processing of large amounts of time series data files in dfs0, ASCII and Excel format.

The resulting output data files will be formatted in a default layout.
